So what you have labled as "these look rad" (the hanging snowface) are Golden Tops. A friend of mine climbed them in summer and that's what it said in the summit register. I think the 13,043 twin summits are most commonly referred to as the Camel Humps. I've just been figuring all that out myself over the last couple years- great zone at this time of year. Jenkins, by the way, was $$$. Hey Mike! So what you have labled as “these look rad” (the hanging snowface) are Golden Tops.

I was confused at first, but I suppose that whole horseshoe is Golden Tops? Probably easier than naming the 8+ summits on that ridge that are just below or just above 13k! Anyhow, we saw your tracks on Cassi and scoped some more great lines just to the North. http://gallery.me.com/mikebromberg/100129/precarious-20map/web.jpg?ver=13078099390001 Hey Frank, we went up to the Golden Tops cirque yesterday and skied the E and W summit (13,043).

The South Couloir on Golden Tops looks mighty aesthetic, I'm gonna have to explore a few peaks in that region eventually! Nice skiing you two!
